I am moving into a new office this week. My current office is inside the gates of the mill and I have to walk a little ways to get there. I don't mind that unless it's rainy or cold, but my new office will be in the main building making me more accessible to visitors and (probably the real reason) the upper management.
I'm excited though because I don't have to waste 10 minutes of my lunch walking to my car and back. Since I've been going to the gym lately at lunch, I want to maximize that time there.
Which brings me to random point number 2, I joined the gym. I've been going for a couple of weeks and just paying the $5 per day to go when I am able, but I was able to join for $25/month, so I jumped on in. There are so many things I love about this gym. It's really small, and there are only about 5-8 people in there at lunch. It's cheap, they have a really huge changing area and shower which is accessible to only one person at a time. Most of the lunch crowd are senior citizens and a couple of guys who are lifting weights on their lunch break. They also have fans at every treadmill that you can position to blow in your face so my hair doesn't get too wrecked.
However, I have one rant. There are 4 total treadmills. 2 are specifically designated for running. So, I find it quite aggravating when only two treadmills are taken and they are the two running ones with senior citizens trekking it out while reading the paper. Seriously?!?!?!
So, I did say something to the front desk attendant. Maybe that will help. I hope so.
Back to the work thing though. I was told Friday that I will be taking on some extra responsibilities as the IH (Industrial Hygiene) coordinator for the facility. I am BEYOND excited and can't wait to dive into the job!!
So, I'll leave with that for now. I have product reviews (and another small rant) tomorrow. Now, I'm off to check out your blogs. The whole house is cleaned and since today was the first day of school, I will have a quiet house soon due to exhausted kids. :)

Yay for a clean house with kiddos at school. School starts back up for me tomorrow, which means NO clean house til next June. Hehe. I hope the gym treadmill situation is fixed; it always irritates me when I can't get on a treadmill due to walkers. Ha. Congrats on the newer, closer to your car, office :).

LOL about the Gym...think that is why I refuse to join one.. Thank you for your comment. Made me smile.
well if I use a treadmill aat all it's to cool down from my stairmaster...and the only way I will use a treadmill is if it's raining outside or snowing. Cause I loathe the treadmill.
In any case...do the other treadmills 'run' or are you not allowed. If that's the case then I would have complained as well. What a strange system...
and what is an industrial hygiene person?
Do you make sure everyone keeps their areas clean or something. (sorry for the ignorance) I am sure you'll do a good job.
wow! That is super inexpensive for a gym!
Congrats! Sounds very cool.
I am the same way about treadmills. Makes me nuts...
Sounds like a great opportunity at the gym - I'm jealous that you can go over lunch! I would love to do that. Hopefully they straighten out the running/walking treadmills soon!!
Congrats on the new responsibilities at work!
Congrats on the work "promo"! I love reading or hearing people's passion for their jobs. Way to go!
Congrats on the new job responsibilities! I wish I had time to go to the gym on my lunch.
those senior citizens probably dont even realize that they are on the 'wrong' treadmill for them...
你的部落格很棒,我期待更新喔............................................................
The senior citizens reading the paper while walking is enough to drive me crazy. Especially when it's nice outside to walk. lol
Aaaahhhh clean house???? Not sure what that is but it sounds amazing:) Lately here the heat index is at least 105 or higher...so I'm loving the treadmill at the gym. Hoping for cool mornings pretty soon!
Nice job on finding a cheap gym. I hate how expensive it can be.
心平氣和~祝你也快樂~~..................................................
I've never heard of treadmills actually designated for runners but makes sense at a small place. If only people would follow the rules!
